The new remedies of moment introduced into it were chloroform, cod-liver oil, tannic and gallic acids, and atropine; and some convenient preparations of lobelia, ergot, and of the salts of morphia; aconitine was omitted, and so too was the bromide of potassium, both of which had found a place in the Pharmacopoeia The Pharmacopoeia of 1851 was the work mainly of Dr. Benjamin G. Babington, Dr. F. J. Farre, and Dr. Nairne. Dr. Babington, it is believed, was responsible for the language of the work itself; but the preface was from the pen of Dr. Mayo, then the senior Censor of the College. The Imprimatur is dated 14th March, 1850, the Order in Council 3rd February, 1851. The authorised translation was by Mr. Richard Phillips, but he died whilst his work was going through the press, and it was completed by Mr. J. Denham Smith. Under the provisions of the Medical Act, 21 and 22 Vic., the duty of preparing and publishing a British Pharmacopoeia devolved on the General Council of Medical Education and Registration, and the College of Physicians of London, as did the sister Colleges of Edinburgh and Dublin, then ceased to issue their respective pharmacopoeias, A LIST OF THE PORTRAITS, PAINTINGS, BUSTS, STATUETTES, &c., IN THE COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS.
